Along with a 486 system I acquired, I also got a free 2GB HDD, a CHAMP C2000-3AF. It didn't have anything I'm interested in on it except some pictures of some old man and his family, a few porn pics in the temporary internet files, and a Win95 Install with various software.
So I wiped the MBR and entered HD Tune Pro and low-leveled it. Then I ran benchmarks on it--this thing will not test above about 2.2MB/s. I'm assuming something is set wrong because it says it supports Multiword DMA Mode 2, which should support 16.7MB/s. Not that the drive is that fast, but it should test higher than 2.2MB/s, shouldn't it?
I had to manually enable Write-Caching on the drive, which didn't improve the benchmark when I started it so I just stopped and looked for other answers.
Any ideas?
